FTC mandates personalized pricing disclosure and threatens enforcement against non-compliant businesses
↗
The FTC announced that businesses must disclose when they use personalized pricing and will deploy enforcement resources, including potential lawsuits, against companies that fail to do so.
Any system that varies prices by user profile, purchase history, or behavioral data now carries disclosure obligations and regulatory risk. Engineering teams building pricing or recommendation engines will need to implement consumer-facing disclosure mechanisms and may need to audit how their systems differentiate pricing across customers.
